Yesterday started off with the POV ceremony. Just before the ceremony James found Nicole outside on the lounge and sat down with her for a few seconds to be sure everything was still fine. They started out with normal chit chat and then Nicole said she was thinking it might be time to start pulling away from Corey a bit so the shock of not seeing him all of the time wouldn't be as bad when the show ended. James was getting ready to be sure everything was on plan for the upcoming POV ceremony and eviction when they were disrupted by Victor who came over and joined them. Nicole then got called in for the ceremony and kept the nominations the same.
Nicole and Corey seem confused as to why James, Natalie and Michelle are so comfortable and aren't going crazy. They don't understand that James trusts Nicole and that she told him she was sticking to the plan which was to vote out Paul, so James is trusting her word. In addition she kept the nominations the same which implies she's still going along with the plan, so James has little reason to doubt her. On the occasions when James has tried to have some private time with Nicole to be sure everything was fine, Paul or Victor would arrive and disrupt things.
Paul and Victor continue to glue themselves to Nicole and Corey and Nicole is really getting frustrated with them. She likes them, but she doesn't want to be with them all of the time. I still suspect Paul's nonstop intensity will have him leaving on Thursday, but we'll see.
Corey came up with an odd plan yesterday for how to use his $5000 bribe. He suggested to Nicole that he could use the bribe to have James throw the HOH comp and tell James that the plan was to evict Natalie so James wouldn't have to get rid of her. Corey thought this was a good plan. Nicole looked at him like he was insane. She told him there was no way James would go along with that.
If Paul does leave then the current plan seems to be to vote out Nicole next week should James, Michelle or Natalie win HOH. Michelle made the argument that Nicole was too dangerous to leave in the house any longer and that she needed to go. I'm pretty sure James would prefer to lose Corey or Victor over Nicole, but Michelle has her sights set firmly on Nicole.
We need to have James and Nicole have a nice long private chat without Paul or Victor hopping in. Corey could be there, but at some point James and Nicole have to have a private chat and sort things out. Nicole and Corey's doubts about James come from James saying Natalie wanted to keep Victor over Corey. What Nicole and Corey are forgetting is that Paul and Victor were in Natalie's ear all week and wanted Corey gone when Natalie was HOH, but that James still voted to keep Corey. Had they really wanted to keep Victor, Corey would have been gone. James will remind them that if James or Natalie wins HOH this week that Paul and Victor will be right back up in the HOH wanting Corey and Nicole put up. James can point out that he's always kept his word while Paul and Victor have always flopped to whoever has power.
Today will see the HOH camera come out and expect to see lots of pictures of Nicole and Corey together. Nicole has largely ignored camera day the last few weeks, but this will be a big day for her. She'll do her HOH blog which could be interesting reading. Things should stay on track for today. Expect more dithering on whether to keep Paul or Michelle, but Michelle still seems to be the target. My gut still says Paul will go, but things don't look that way now. We'll see what happens.
